I know my recent posts have leaned a little heavy, but honestly, the world feels heavy right now. I usually reach for humor to get through the madness, to make sense of the chaos, to soften the blow.
Thanks for all that you are doing to help women around the world cope with "real world" problems. As for the one thing for the backpack, I have a folder called "Important things" which has birth certificate, marriage license, old passports and a piece of art my son created years ago that says along the top in kid's handwriting "Dad, Mom, Kid" above the sketched figures and underneath in teacher handwriting the words of the kid: "A family can be a dad, a mom and a kid. The dad and kid have blue eyes, the mom has brown eyes." The one piece that just had to survive the annual art folder purge. (reference to a recent post)
Your care and dedication inspire me. Thank you for sharing these stories. It’s so hard to know what I would do if I faced these challenges. I’d like to think my practical side would win but I just can’t stop thinking this should never happen. To anyone. Ever.

I love this so much. I wish Comments allowed you to include that piece of art!
